My computer has been running slow and it looks like it's something about winlogon.exe. At the task manager, winlogon takes 15%-40% of my CPU usage. This has been annoying me for a while and I want my old computer back. And here's my HJT log.

After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.

Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat

You will first be presented with a warning.
It should look like this

VundoFix V2.13 by Atri
By using VundoFix you agree that you are doing so at your own risk
Press enter to continue....

At this point press enter one time.

Next you will see:

Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\rqolm.dll

Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.

Next you will see:

Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum staff
Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mloqr.*
This will be the vundo filename spelt backwards. for example if the vundo dll was vundo.dll you would have the user enter odnuv.*

Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.

The fix will run then HijackThis will open.

In HiJackThis, please place a check next to the following items and click FIX CHECKED:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: rqolm - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\rqolm.dll

After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis and Press any key to Force a reboot of your computer.

Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!

Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).Set the program up as follows:Click "Options..."Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
